[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dunno it couldn’t have been less stressful for my DC. They did well in school, didn’t win any national awards, didn’t solve world hunger, [b]got average grades on the SAT[/b], applied ED to a target and got into a top 25 school in December. Game over. I think it has to start with setting expectations. DC knew from the start they were not looking at Ivys, mostly because their score was too low. If they had gotten a much higher score I am sure that would have entered into the equation but thankfully it level set them.

Kids have to be realistic and understand the top schools are literally a lottery at this point. DC also had an EA acceptance with a ton of money from a mid tier SLAC in pocket when got the ED acceptance. Just was not hard.

Thanks. Glad everything worked out for your DC!

Did your DC submit SAT score(s) to this top 25 school? If so what was the range? 25th percentile?[/quote]

Yes, they were right on the median[/quote][/quote]
